Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2012, published 102nd ILC session (2013)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Burundi (Ratification: 1997)

Tripartite consultation required by the Convention. Technical assistance to help member States fulfil their reporting obligations and comply with the provisions of the Convention. The Committee notes the comments by the Trade Union Confederation of Burundi (COSYBU) submitted to the Government in September 2012. The COSYBU points out that, despite efforts to introduce a culture of social dialogue, there is still a long way to go. The Committee notes with regret that it has been unable to examine a report from the Government since 2007. Referring once again to its 2007 observation, it requests the Government to submit a report containing detailed information on the content and results of tripartite consultations held since November 2007 on questions concerning international labour standards, and in particular on the reports to be made to the ILO as well as on the re-examination of unratified Conventions and Recommendations (Article 5(1)(c) and (d)). The Committee draws the Government’s attention to the possibility of availing itself of the ILO’s technical assistance to fill the gaps in the implementation of the Convention.

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2013.]
